In this issue we meet key Movers and Shakers of art and culture in the Middle East and look forward to the upcoming Magic of Persia and Jameel Prize awards, the eleventh set of Christie’s Dubai auctions, the third Abu Dhabi Art fair and an exhibition by Iranian artist Reza Aramesh in a London church. We also share our experiences of the Shubbak festival in London and take a look at Elizabeth Taylor in Iran. Art patron Stuart Cary shares his insights and experiences as a curator, scholar and collector of Islamic and Mughal art and the David collection presents its notable collection of Islamic art in Copenhagen. Canvas also takes a look at Tehran’s Golestan gallery and profiles artists Safwan Dahoul, Ali Banisadr, Halim Al-Karim and Adel Siwi.
